I thought Cane sugar was out on WFPB NO OIL, NO SUGAR? Thank you for explaining.
Hi Kathy, several of the medical and nutritional experts with whom we consult are okay with small amounts of sweetener on occasion. The overall calorie contribution (in a serving) from the added sugar in a day’s worth of eating is minimal, so we include it as an occasional treat. We have followed this model in our books and resources.
For further discussion on sweeteners, we recommend posting on Dr. John McDougall’s discussion board, which has credentialed moderators: https://drmcdougallforums.com/
With this recipe, you may wish to minimize or omit any added sweetener and follow the recipe as otherwise written 🙂
